Police say the graffiti tag 'No Digital ID' was found spray-painted on some of the property.
"Graffiti may be viewed by some as little more than an unsightly nuisance; however, it costs property owners and taxpayers dearly," OPP said.
Police say officers arrested a 70-year-old man on Friday.
He faces 13 counts of mischief, destroying or damaging property.
Police urge anyone with information on these incidents to contact Dufferin OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers.
